The Premier League could welcome a new talent this summer as interest grows in young midfielder Kees Smit. The 20-year-old Dutch player from AZ Alkmaar has caught the attention of two major English clubs.
Details: Manchester United and Chelsea are reportedly poised to compete for Smit’s signature, according to CaughtOffside. Both clubs see him as a potential future star, a sentiment echoed by his standout performances that have made waves in England.
As both teams brace for the potential loss of key midfielders Casemiro and Enzo Fernández this summer, Smit emerges as a promising option to fill any gaps left behind.
In light of the escalating interest, AZ Alkmaar has set Smit’s price at no less than €60 million. Throughout this season, he has made 44 appearances for the club, netting 5 goals and providing 10 assists. His current contract runs until 2028, with Transfermarkt estimating his value at €25 million.
